be nice to your fellow persons. it's a nasty country you live at. laws for damn near everything. none of the individual freedoms that are touted by the powers that be. be yourself, don't add to the human drama. be satisfied with only yourself. no need to do anything on earth. too much has been done. just eat sleep and go on with it.

Very sorry to hear that again this has happened to another Palo Altan just going about their life minding their own business. We are reading way too much about this these days.

&gt; Even though he cooperated and handed over his property, the man with the knife punched him in the face and slashed him in the forearm with the knife.

This is new and really concerning. All the previous cases like this I've read about there was no real violence. That is starting to change, why? Is there something missing from this story or are these thugs just getting meaner and more violent?

Palo Alto Weekly Holiday Fund
For the last 23 years, the Palo Alto Weekly Holiday Fund has given away more than $4 million to local nonprofits serving children and families. When you make a donation, every dollar is automatically doubled, and 100% of the funds go directly to local programs. It’s a great way to ensure your charitable donations are working at home.
